About the Item

This is an authentic Antique Mahajiran Sarouk, representing the pinnacle of Persian weaving from the turn of the 20th century. This specific example features a dense, luminous pile on a classic midnight-blue ground, accented by a sophisticated "sprig" or floral-spray design that is the hallmark of the Mahajiran style. The rug displays a beautiful array of botanical motifs, including flowering urns and delicate vines, rendered in a palette of soft terracottas, sage greens, and pale golds. The high-quality lanolin-rich wool gives the surface a soft, velvet-like handle and a subtle natural glow that enhances the deep indigo dyes. Condition Report Overall Condition: Good Antique Condition. Pile: Excellent pile height for its age; very plush and durable. Color: Deep, saturated vegetable dyes with consistent tonality across the field. Integrity: Secure edges and fringe; professionally inspected for structural soundness. Technical Specifications Origin: Sarouk (Mahajiran District), Persia Period: Early 1900s Technique: Hand-knotted (Fine weave) Material: 100% High-Lustre Wool on a Cotton Foundation Dimensions: 3.3' x 5.2' (Approx. 100 cm x 158 cm) Primary Colors: Midnight Blue, Dusty Rose, Sage Green, and Cream. Collector's Note Mahajiran Sarouks of this size and colorway are highly prized by collectors for their "open" designs, which lack the heavy, crowded feel of later 1920s-30s Sarouks. This specific piece is a "designer's dream" due to its versatile size and the timeless elegance of the blue-and-rose color combination.
